You have no control, so what can we do...............
From The GuardianPeterson’s worldview is complex, although 12 Rules makes a heroic attempt to simplify it into digestible material. It might be encapsulated thus: “Life is tragic. You are tiny and flawed and ignorant and weak and everything else is huge, complex and overwhelming. Once, we had Christianity as a bulwark against that terrifying reality. But God died. Since then the defence has either been ideology – most notably Marxism or fascism – or nihilism. These lead, and have led in the 20th century, to catastrophe.
“‘Happiness’ is a pointless goal. Don’t compare yourself with other people, compare yourself with who you were yesterday. No one gets away with anything, ever, so take responsibility for your own life. You conjure your own world, not only metaphorically but also literally and neurologically. These lessons are what the great stories and myths have been telling us since civilization began.”
I think Jordan Peterson has a point, life is suffering . If you have expectations, if you think you are in control you have a problem, life can give you some surprises and you would be shocked! yes everything is possible. If you don't accept that anything is possible you will suffer.

I bought this book in Thailand recently i am not yet here but it's a decent proposal
So, understand your situation from a greater perspective. Don't think that what s happening to you is unfair or unjustified; what is happening to you at all the times is just what should be happening.
